You are not a black woman, and you do not get to claim either blackness or womanhood. There is a clear line between appreciation and appropriation RECOMMENDED FOR YOU 'Act of War': North Korea Blasts Rogen Film, Fires Projectiles Dead Georgia Toddler's Father Searched Internet on Hot Car Deaths, Says Source Tortured by symptoms of PTSD, a vet killed by police was turned away by an overbooked VA h… by Taboola
I need some of you to cut it the hell out. Maybe, for some of you, it’s a presumed mutual appreciation for Beyoncé and weaves that has you thinking that I’m going to be amused by you approaching me in your best “Shanequa from around the way” voice. I don’t know. What I do know is that I don’t care how well you can quote Madea, who told you that your booty was getting bigger than hers, how cute you think it is to call yourself a strong black woman, who taught you to twerk, how funny you think it is to call yourself Quita or Keisha or for which black male you’ve been bottoming — you are not a black woman, and you do not get to claim either blackness or womanhood. It is not yours. It is not for you.

I have seen Black female culture and I Don’t want anything to do with it!
Is that like...a yeast infection?
Could someone please translate that screed into white English?

Buckwheat’s sissa ?
Not bad for somebody whose native language clearly isn't English. I don't know what it is, exactly. This incoherent rant was apparently directed at gay white males, who have suffered but not, oh, my, never never NOT, suffered as poor Sierra has. Or as she is convinced that she has.
College seniors. What don't they know?
This article nails it. When I went to college, there were gay men who acted exactly like black women from the ghetto. I mean, right down to the finger-snapping and “Hell naw” voice.
Hopefully the oppressive white power structure at least has enough power to stop that from happening.
Black people can’t have anything. Any of these things include, but aren’t limited to: a general sense of physical safety, comfort with law enforcement, adequate funding and appreciation for black spaces like schools and neighborhoods, appropriate venues for our voices to be heard about criticism of issues without our race going on trial because of it, and solid voting rights (cc: Chris McDaniel).
